"Frame-up? They seem quite professional. Who else but the Demon Gang would research this kind of stuff? It's definitely related to the Demon Gang!"

Whether it's obvious or not, everyone can see it, but that's not important. What's important is that they've indeed obtained a very useful excuse.

“Those bastards from the Devil Gang can’t be allowed to wreak havoc on Santo Domingo any longer. We, the Sixth Street Gang, are responsible for maintaining order in Santo Domingo. If we continue to let these bastards run rampant, the very foundation of our rule in Santo Domingo will begin to crumble.”

The leader of the faction opposing cooperation with the company immediately began to talk about value, and with the conversation having gone this far, it was indeed difficult to continue.

Maintaining order and upholding justice in Santo Domingo has always been the goal and motto of the Sixth Street Gang. Even if some people secretly scoff at it, they cannot openly disagree.

"That was fantastic!"

In the old captain's small warehouse, Ke Ling was receiving his flattery. After completing these two tasks, the old captain immediately realized Ke Ling's value; he was a powerful and formidable newcomer.

"It's nothing. Did your plan work?"

Ke Ling asked, but he didn't have any connections in the Sixth Street Gang, so he naturally didn't know what kind of impact his actions had had.

"Of course, just wait and see, the Sixth Street Gang will start making their move very soon."

The old captain spoke with great certainty, and his intelligence source replied to him immediately: the Sixth Street Gang had reached a consensus that they would expel the "Devil Gang" and maintain order in Santo Domingo.

"This Sixth Street gang is really awkward. They want both face and substance, and in the end, they've made themselves a lose-lose situation."

Ke Ling grumbled, "That's probably just human nature. The Sixth Street Gang might have initially symbolized justice, but as time passed and a generation changed, some of them eventually started prioritizing personal gain over public duty, and they stopped pretending at all."

The struggle between the self-serving faction and the traditional faction has been ongoing within the Sixth Street Gang, which has led to their actions sometimes appearing quite disjointed.

Sometimes they act as heroes and maintain order, and sometimes they are no different from other gangs, exploiting the people of the community and causing trouble for the people of Santo Domingo.

"Will they directly attack the Demon Gang's headquarters?"

Ke Ling asked, explaining that he wanted to lend a hand. If possible, he wanted to blend in with the Sixth Street Gang and join them in storming the Demon Gang's stronghold, contributing to the cause.

"I don't think so. They might use a strangulation method, cutting off the Demon Gang's outstretched claws one by one, and then directly attacking the headquarters. That would be too disrespectful to the corporate dogs."

The old captain shook his head. The Sixth Street Gang had taken money after all, so they couldn't go too far. Therefore, they would most likely take a roundabout approach.

“As long as the Devil Gang members dare to go out, the Sixth Street Gang will be mobilized. Santo Domingo is the Sixth Street Gang’s home turf. Anyone who enters here will soon be known to the Sixth Street Gang. The Devil Gang members will have nowhere to hide under countless eyes.”

The power of the local bullies was on full display at this time. If a stranger entered Santo Domingo, the old captain would get the news quickly, let alone the Sixth Street gang, which had been rooted in Santo Domingo for fifty years.

"That's one way. Trample the Demon Gang in their lair and keep them from moving. Then spread the word about the company behind the Demon Gang. If the Demon Gang loses its reason for existence, the corporate dogs will no longer support it."

Ke Ling understood this method, which would be a fatal blow to the Demon Gang.

The Demon Gang's purpose in existing is to attract Davo Collins; once this is exposed, the Demon Gang will naturally lose its purpose.

"That's right, just wait and see."

The old captain extended his hand to Ke Ling and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you." He felt that the collaboration had been quite pleasant.

"It was a pleasure working with you. Next time you need my help, you'll have to pay me."

Ke Ling smiled and shook hands with the old captain. This time it was a collaboration, and the two had a common goal, so they didn't mention money. But things would be different later; they would definitely get paid for their work.

"Sure, I happen to have a task here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

The old captain smiled; he thought Ke Ling was very useful and wanted to continue using him.

"What mission?"

Ke Ling asked, saying he didn't mind helping the old captain. The old captain was actually quite easy to control because he had things he cared about, and people who care about things are naturally easier to control.

"Get me a batch of medicine, and I'll give you 100,000 after it's done."

The old captain narrowed his eyes and gave a price quote directly. The medicine would arrive at the dock at Arasaka Beach the day after tomorrow and then be delivered to the company square. This route would not be easy to operate, so the old captain was prepared to negotiate the price.

"Used to treat people suffering from water pollution?"

However, Ke Ling did not haggle, but directly stated the old captain's purpose, revealing his reason for wanting this batch of medicine.

"Yes."

The old captain paused for a moment, then nodded and readily admitted it. He didn't say his purpose because he was afraid that this guy would deliberately raise the price. But clearly, this guy was also a smart man and quickly figured out what he wanted those drugs for.

Do you charge them for the treatment?

Ke Ling continued to ask, staring intently at the old captain. His question was not surprising. There were two ways to use this batch of medicine: one was to squeeze the wealth out of those who were sick, and the other was to provide treatment for free or charge only the cost price.

"Of course it's free; I'll give them the medicine for free."

The old captain answered firmly. In fact, he ran a used car business to save money to buy medicine and treat those poor patients.

"Santo Domingo's conscience?"

Ke Ling sighed. To be honest, the old captain and his gang were indeed very rare in this world. Their existence raised the average moral standard of the people of Night City.

Actually, Ke Ling might be able to cure this disease, as the tail-healing ability of "Nick the Transvestite" is powerful.

However, using kagune to treat ordinary people may lead to an increase in the number of Rc cells in the body, which may cause people to become disoriented and require the use of Rc cell inhibitors to eliminate those Rc cells.

The cured individuals do not have sacs in their bodies, so they can return to normal simply by removing the injected Rc cells.

Ke Ling didn't have many Rc cell inhibitors on hand, which was definitely not enough.

"Forget about conscience or lack thereof, just strive to have a clear conscience."

The old captain shook his head. He didn't think he was anything special; he had just done what he could for the people of his hometown. He couldn't just watch those children die in front of him, could he?

"Actually, I know some medical skills. You can take me to see them first. Maybe I can find a way to cure these people's illnesses."

Ke Ling slowly began to speak, saying, "We'll try to save as many Rc cell inhibitors as we can first. If that doesn't work, we'll get more from Tokyo Ghoul."

Why did Ke Ling say that the old captain was actually quite easy to manipulate? It's because the old captain and his crew were willing to risk their lives to treat the children of Santo Domingo.

If Ke Ling could really cure this disease, then the old captain and his men would definitely treat Ke Ling like royalty.

"You're not kidding?"

The old captain didn't quite believe Ke Ling's explanation. If the disease were so easy to treat, they would have found a way to cure it long ago.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Ke Ling smiled. He certainly didn't look like a famous doctor, so it was normal for the old captain not to believe him.

The Santo Domingo people must have tried many methods, and they would only resort to robbing the company's drugs as a last resort when all else fails, which is clearly the case now.

"I can't guarantee that it can be cured, but I can assure you that it won't make the situation worse."

Seeing that the old captain was somewhat tempted, Ke Ling gave him a heads-up: he himself wasn't sure, so he shouldn't give the old captain too much hope.

My first day at work was tough.

Chapter 134 A Fight is Necessary

"Take a look, do you have a solution?"

The old captain ultimately decided to take Ke Ling to see a doctor. They had tried many methods for treating the illness and naturally wouldn't give up any hope.

""

Looking at the somewhat timid child in front of him, Ke Ling remained silent for a moment.

Even with his limited medical knowledge gained during this period, he could tell that the child's problem was quite serious.

Without timely treatment, he probably won't live much longer.

“This child comes from a poor family and is physically weak; he won’t be able to survive on his own.”

The old captain's smile vanished. He picked up the child and spoke bluntly, without any attempt to hide anything from the child.

There's nothing to avoid; this is the first step one must take to survive in Santo Domingo, and every Santo Domingo resident should remember Arasaka's great faults and virtues.

Even if you survive that, and grow up, it's not certain whether you'll live to adulthood.

The old captain sighed as he spoke, noting that to this day, none of the generation that suffered from this calamity have reached adulthood.

Of course, it's also because only fourteen or fifteen years have passed since this incident, so naturally, the next generation of children hasn't grown up yet.

However, this disease doesn't only affect children; adults can also get sick from water pollution, and both adults and children can die from it.

"I need to prepare, after all, it's not a minor illness, I'll need to have surgery."

Ke Ling spoke to the old captain with a serious expression, looking deeply moved.

He was indeed somewhat moved, after all, he was a normal person and had always been committed to remaining normal.

Faced with the tragic state of Santo Domingo and these pitiful children, it would be difficult for any normal person not to be moved.

But despite being moved, Ke Ling wouldn't immediately use his tail kagune to save people; he wouldn't let such emotions cloud his judgment.

The ability to kill is not a skill; the ability to save lives is what people are most likely to covet.

Ke Ling was naturally well aware of this, since he had his eye on the tail's ability because of its powerful healing power.

Moreover, if he could easily cure his illness simply by using his tail, that would seem a bit too simplistic.

You can say that it's just a small favor you do, but you can't let people see it and think that it really is just a small favor.

Some people are able to repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude, while others feel that it's just a small favor and doesn't count as a favor.

Since Ke Ling has decided to help, he must want to maximize his own interests, at the very least to make the old captain grateful to him.

Ke Ling didn't intend to do anything that would test human nature, so he decided to make things more complicated so that the old captain and the others would feel that he had also put in a lot of effort for this matter.

"When will it be ready?"

The old captain nodded; he wasn't surprised that preparations were needed.

He would be surprised and even suspicious if Ke Ling didn't need to prepare.

They tried many methods and consulted many doctors to find a solution to this problem.

If Ke Ling were to produce a medicine and claim that it could easily solve their problem, he would suspect that Ke Ling was a fraud.

In fact, scammers have appeared before. In matters of life and death, it's normal to be desperate and try anything, and the people of Santo Domingo have suffered a lot as a result.

He left the company and returned to Santo Domingo to work as a middleman. The first thing he did was to punish the scum who made this kind of dirty money.

"Just wait for my notification, it should be soon."

Ke Ling didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He went back and immediately made preparations to rescue some people first.

He originally brought these Rc cell inhibitors for V and Jack, but he didn't expect them to be used for this.
